  • Stile 3.0 Conserving Green Spaces Part 2

    Funded Jun 26, 2024

    Once again I would like to thank you on behalf of my team and my students for your generous support. The resources we were able to purchase have been very beneficial in our classroom. The students were so excited to record podcasts and were very happy they had the materials to do so. The iPad stands were perfect to help them record the podcast. Allowing students to be in charge of those materials really gave them an important sense of ownership.

    The students were also very happy and excited to learn about money and use the cash boxes. They took that job very seriously and I know having the cash boxes made it feel very real to them (even when using fake money).

    Lastly, the students used the trays and construction paper to create clay models of different landforms during their science class. It was a wonderful opportunity for them to create something hands on. Thank you again for everything!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Torchia

  • PS 86k Stile 3.0 Conserving Green Spaces

    Funded Feb 22, 2024

    Thank you so much for funding our project! The students used the technology to create video podcasts. In their podcasts, they discussed all they had learned during our PBL. The technology allowed them to explore this information in new ways.

    The students loved the idea of making a video podcast. They were all very excited about the different jobs they had to make this podcast come to life. The jobs were: videographer, cue card director, host, guest speaker, and lighting coordinator. The host and guest speaker utilized the microphones that were funded in the project. The cue card director used the card stock and markers to create cue cards. The lighting coordinator used the lights that were funded through the project to help light the host and guest speaker. And finally, the videographer used iPad stands that were funded through the project to record the podcast.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Torchia
